WMH Tool Group Warranty
The WMH Group (including JET, Performax, Powermatic and Wilton brands) makes every effort to assure that its
products meet high quality and durability standards and warrants to the original retail consumer/purchaser of our
products that each product be free from defects in materials and workmanship as follow: 1 YEAR LIMITED
WARRANTY ON ALL PRODUCTS UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE. This Warranty does not apply to defects
due directly or indirectly to misuse, abuse, negligence or accidents, normal wear-and-tear, repair or alterations
outside our facilities, or to a lack of maintenance.
THE WMH TOOL GROUP LIMITS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES TO THE PERIOD SPECIFIED ABOVE, FROM THE
DATE THE PRODUCT WAS PURCHASED AT RETAIL. EXCEPT AS STATED HEREIN, ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OR MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS ARE EXCLUDED. SOME STATES DO NOT
ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG THE IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY
NOT APPLY TO YOU. THE WMH TOOL GROUP SHALL IN NO EVENT BE LIABLE FOR DEATH, INJURIES TO
PERSONS OR PROPERTY, OR FOR INCIDENTAL, CONTINGENT, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
ARISING FROM THE USE OF OUR PRODUCTS. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR
LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION
MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
To take advantage of this warranty, the product or part must be returned for examination, postage prepaid, to an
Authorized Repair Station designated by our office. Proof of purchase date and an explanation of the complaint must
accompany the merchandise. If our inspection discloses a defect, we will either repair or replace the product, or
refund the purchase price if we cannot readily and quickly provide a repair or replacement, if you are willing to accept
a refund. We will return repaired product or replacement at WMH's expense, but if it is determined there is no defect,
or that the defect resulted from causes not within the scope of WMH's warranty, then the user must bear the cost of
storing and returning the product. This warranty gives you specific legal rights; you may also have other rights which
vary from state to state.
The WMH Tool Group sells through distributors only. Members of the WMH Group reserve the right to effect at any
time, without prior notice, those alterations to parts, fittings, and accessory equipment which they may deem
necessary for any reason whatsoever.
